Emperor Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne as an eight-year-old child, and the major affairs of the state were all the "three Yangs" designated by Zhu Zhanji and Empress Dowager Zhang, and Ming Yingzong was always in a position where he could not lift his head. He wanted to go to the West again, Yang Shiqi and others died, and Zhu Qizhen could only give up the illusion of being unrealistic and hurting the people and money.
Although he was the emperor, he could not interject his own political affairs, and could only be accompanied by the eunuch Wang Zhen all day long. It was only in this eunuch that he found dignity. Finally, all these old comrades died, and Zhu Qizhen ushered in his own era. Therefore, he asked the Imperial Guard to personally conquer Vala and use the Wenzhi martial arts to prove his ability.
As a result, everyone knows that the Ming army in Tumu fort was defeated, the entire army was destroyed, and the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty turned from strong to weak, and they themselves were also captured first, which became the most humiliating moment in the history of Daming. However, from this moment on, Zhu Qizhen's feeling was a little subtle.
Zhu Qizhen was a bit ghostly, and before he set out on the expedition, he made his son Zhu Jianshen, who was less than two years old, the crown prince, and let his younger brother Zhu Qiyu be regent, and he not only led Daming's ace army, but also took all the elite and important ministers in the dynasty with him. Zhu Qizhen did this in order to prevent his brother Zhu Qiyu, who was temporarily in charge, from having the idea of colluding with the heavy ministers to do things; second, he pooled his wisdom and attached equal importance to both culture and martial arts, and strived to solve the threat once and for all. However, in this way, he had no ability to use soldiers, and he used soldiers as he pleased, repeatedly going up and down first, which still led to the defeat of Tumu Fort.
Wang Zhen was an eunuch who had formed a party for personal gain, embezzled and accepted bribes, and had more than enough to die, but when Emperor Yingzong was capricious and caused dissatisfaction among the Ming army to be questioned, he took the initiative to carry the black cauldron for him, and finally died on the battlefield, the first thing that Yingzong restored was to justify Wang Zhen's name, and many scholars believed that Wang Zhen was protecting Emperor Yingzong's death.
When the Ming army crossed the river, it was attacked by Ye Xian, and once defeated, the Ming army scrambled to run around, the tiles ambushed everywhere, and Yingzong had no hope of breaking through, so he simply jumped off his horse, facing the south, sat cross-legged, and waited to be tied, this calmness is really not something that ordinary people have.
The Wattle Soldier rushed up, and a soldier stepped forward to peel off Yingzong's armor, and seeing that his armor was different, he knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he pushed him to see King Saixian, the brother of Yexian. When King Saijian interrogated Yingzong, Yingzong asked, "Who are you?" Is it also first, or Boyan Timur, or the king of Saiban. King Saijian felt that Yingzong's tone of voice was very strong, and immediately reported it first, and also first sent ming emissaries who remained in the Watt's army to identify him, only to know that he was Yingzong.
Captured Yingzong, also first daxi, where is a prisoner, this is a god of wealth, he immediately extorted from Daming, claiming that as long as the gold coins, about bribes will be returned, Zhu Qizhen's mother Empress Sun, wife Empress Qian, took out the treasures at the bottom of the pressure box, called on the palace people to collect donations, many times donated heavy money to redeem Yingzong, and also collected the money first, which people will easily put back.
Of course, I also took good care of the life of Zhu Qi Town, which can be said to be "a big gold chain and a small mink jacket, eating barbecue three times a day." ”
Winter outside Saiwai is unusually cold, and most of the cold clothes in Zhuqi Town are provided by the Wala people. According to historical records, on Emperor Yingzong's birthday, the Wala people gave him a "yellow python dragon mink skin jacket" as a birthday gift. Eating is even more elaborate: "Every two days into a sheep, seven days into a cow, five days seven days and ten days to make a feast, day by day into the cow's milk, goat's milk": two days a sheep, seven days a cow, and every few days there is a feast, as well as endless milk, goat milk. On the birthday day, he also sent someone to "kill the horse to make a feast". He even wanted to give his sister Xu to Zhu Qizhen, but he did not eat meat and faint, and finally refused this request.
In order to reassure Zhu Qizhen, he first wanted to find an attendant from the captured Ming army to serve him, and then he was worried that Zhu Qizhen would collude with the soldiers to cause trouble, so he wanted to find an illiterate person. At this time, Yuan Bin was a low-level military attaché, who was also captured, he was very intelligent, pretended not to be literate, and was also selected to serve Zhu Qizhen first, and the two soon became friends of life and death.
He also did not want to use Yingzong to extort money, he attacked Daming and let Yingzong lead the way, and Daming soldiers were afraid of this and did not dare to fight.
In order not to be threatened by ye first, Bingbu Shangshu Yuqian and the ministers asked the regent Zhu Qiyu to be emperor and honor Zhu Qizhen as the Emperor Taishang, which Zhu Qizhen's biological mother Empress Sun also agreed, Empress Sun was not an ordinary person, she knew that the more honorable Zhu Qizhen's identity was, the more she would not let it go back, and became a nominal Taishang Emperor, but could be redeemed. She put forward a condition, that is, Zhu Jianshen must be made the crown prince, to put it bluntly, in Empress Sun's heart, Zhu Qiyu was the acting emperor when Zhu Qizhen was absent, Zhu Qizhen returned or Zhu Jianshen was old, and the throne was still her children and grandchildren. But once you taste power, who is willing to return it easily?
The Ming Dynasty had a new emperor, the role of Zhu Qizhen was greatly reduced, Zhu Qizhen was forced to call the city gate, the soldiers ignored him, and even let them retreat with arrows, Yuan Bin stepped on the city gate with his head, bleeding to the ground, almost crashing to death, and the city gate was opened. In the defense of the Beijing Division, the Ming Dynasty army, which had some scruples, let go of its hands and feet under the command of Yu Qian, and finally suffered a major defeat. In November of that year, the first Valar soldiers withdrew from the pass. After being defeated first, Yingzong became a chicken rib in his mouth, tasteless and discarded. In the end, weighing the pros and cons, he also decided to return Yingzong and reach a reconciliation with the Ming Dynasty.
The king of a country as a prisoner in other countries is naturally a shame for Daming, and when he heard that he could redeem Zhu Qizhen, the ministers demanded to be taken back one-sidedly, Zhu Qiyu was not happy, his emperor should have a taste, who wanted to come out? So he complained: When the country was in difficulty, you had to let me be the emperor, and now you have brought the Emperor Taishang back, what am I?
Yu Qian promised with a full mouth: the emperor is still the emperor, and the emperor is still too emperor. Having said that, Zhu Qiyu was still not at ease, and sent Yang Shan to Vala to negotiate the return of the Taishang Emperor, one did not give the authorization to negotiate the holy will of the Taishang Emperor, the second did not prepare a ransom, and the third repeatedly warned Yang Shan that he did not have to care about anything except to negotiate peace with ye first, Yang Shandu was more than sixty years old and had been mixed in the official field for decades, how could he not understand Zhu Qiyu's meaning?
However, Yang Shan actually "became a monk's wealth, and those who needed it in the city took the past with them." He took out all his belongings, paid for it himself, and bought the items needed by the Wala people as a gift for Ye Xian to redeem Zhu Qizhen. Then, with his three inches of uncorrupted tongue, Jean also promised to send Zhu Qizhen back to Daming first.
If it is said that the preferential treatment of Zhu Qizhen before was for political purposes, Zhu Qizhen is leaving, and sending off can be regarded as a true feeling.
On the fifth day, Yingzong Xiang also resigned first, and also led the tribal leaders to send half a day, and when they broke up, they untied the armor and bows on their bodies and gave them to Yingzong, and the leaders knelt down one after another, with tears in their eyes.
Boyan Timur, because he took care of Emperor Yingzong, spent the longest time with others, and sent it to Wild Fox Ridge before sending the wine away. And he said that when the Emperor returned and regained the throne, he was still the Lord of The Wallachians, and if something went wrong, he could fly the book to sue me! It means to let Zhu Qizhen go back to be the emperor, and Va Laijing is the lord, and if there is difficulty in restoring the throne, I can help. After saying goodbye to crying, he sent five hundred soldiers to protect Yingzong all the way to Juyongguan.
Soon after Boyan Timur left, some people and horses chased after him, and Emperor Yingzong thought that the Wala people had repented, and it turned out to be the "Pingzhang" (similar to the prime minister) of Yexian, who hunted and beat a roe deer, and specially caught up with it and offered it to Yingzong. They were just people who were ordered to guard Yingzong, and in the end they all developed a deep friendship with Yingzong, which was simply incredible.
Zhu Qizhen returned to China, the most unhappy is about Zhu Qiyu, but Zhu Qizhen is doing things very beautifully, and on the way back, he wrote to Empress Sun and Zhu Qiyu, saying that he had lost his teacher and humiliated the country, full of guilt, and did not take the wind and dust to take over. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he asked himself to live in the Nangong Palace to reflect on the mistakes he had made.
Zhu Qiyu did not want to return the throne, naturally he was full of vigilance against Emperor Taishang's brother, he thought of killing Zhu Qizhen to avoid the consequences, first, the brothers had good feelings, they could not get their hands on it, and second, they were afraid of being criticized by the people of the world. So he kept a close watch over Zhu Qi Town, withholding food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and almost abusing him, and it was best that Zhu Qi Town could not stand it and died himself.
In history, most of the people who were so imprisoned ended up depressed within a few years, but Zhu Qizhen lived in the small Nangong for seven years, not only was there no "depressed", but the babies had several births, and it cannot be said that this mentality is too good.
The eunuch Ruan Lang was sent to look after Zhu Qizhen, and the one who could take on such a heavy responsibility was naturally Zhu Qiyu's confidant, but it was not long before Zhu Qizhen actually knew that Ruan Lang had a birthday and "gave him a gilded embroidery bag and a gilded knife." Ruan Lang gave the embroidered bag golden knife to Wang Yao, the envoy of the Imperial City under the gate, and this knife was seen by Shi Luzhong, the commander of Jinyi.
Zhu Qiyu's thoughts, the people at the bottom must understand, Lu Zhongru obtained the treasure, falsely accused the Emperor Taishang of wanting to restore, this golden knife is the evidence he gave to Ruan Lang, let Ruan Lang collude with Wang Yao, and jointly plot restoration.
Ruan Lang and Wang Yao were imprisoned, who knew that no matter how these two people were interrogated and tortured, the skin and flesh were torn apart and refused to slander Zhu Qizhen, the Golden Knife case came and went to trial, Wang Yaoling was executed late, Ruan Lang died in prison, and he could not implicate Zhu Qizhen at all, and finally failed.
Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill, Zhu Qizhen waited for the opportunity to launch the change of the door, the restoration became the emperor again, most people think that the change of the door is actually unnecessary, Zhu Qizhen is completely likely to be supported by the ministers after Zhu Qiyu's death.
It can be seen that almost everyone who is close to Yingzong will be close to him and respect him, not only because he is the emperor or the Emperor Taishang, but because Yingzong does have superhuman charm, which is rare among ancient Chinese emperors.
A large part of his personal charm lies in being true to people, and the people who have favored him are really good to people. Soon after his restoration, he corrected Wang Zhen's name and named Wang Zhen, which was equivalent to assuming the responsibility for the failure of the tumu fort change, which was very rare for the emperor who was good at letting his courtiers carry the pot to maintain his image.
Yuan Bin was loyal to him, and many times he fought for his interests first, and if he offended him, he also had to execute Yuan Bin first, and he disregarded his identity, hugged Yuan Bin and did not allow anyone to take him away, and xiang Yixian cried bitterly and pleaded. Yuan Bin was sick in the rain, and he carried him all night to the cold, no wonder after returning to China, even if Emperor Yingzong listened to rumors and sent him to prison, he had no complaints.
Yang Shan went through several dynasties, did not get reused, sat on the cold bench, was promoted when Yingzong was in power, his son committed a crime, Yingzong saw that he was very old, and did not severely punish, Yang Shan threw Yingzong away at Tumu Fort and escaped once, so later Yang Shan made up his mind to bring Yingzong back, of course, his move was richly rewarded: full of high-ranking officials, marquises, in charge of military power, became Yingzong's family, corruption was not punished...
He had a very good relationship with Empress Qian, and after being captured, Empress Qian knelt in the Buddhist hall to pray for him day and night, and her legs were broken and she had a disability. Zhu Qizhen's father, Zhu Zhanji, deposed empress Hu Shanxiang of Xiande in the name of childlessness, and made Sun Guifei, who had given birth to a crown prince, become empress, and Zhou Guifei, who gave birth to a prince, colluded with the chancellor and also wanted to abolish Empress Qian, and even Empress Sun persuaded Zhu Qizhen to abolish it for political purposes, but Zhu Qizhen resolutely refused to agree.
Zhu Qizhen, who had many eyes, restored Hu Shanxiang's position as empress, so as to beat up those ministers who were eager to move: he would never waste empress Qian as childless, and when he was dying, he also wrote a joint burial with Empress Qian into his will, and also abolished the terrible burial system, which was simply a matter of immeasurable merit.
As an emperor, it was already quite difficult for Zhu Qizhen to do so, of course, his political ability was not good, it was another matter.
